breathing Through the NOUN.

Tight dressing, though the most seri-
Gus hindrance to the habit of good
breathing, is not the only obstacle.
There are careless ways of sitting and
standing that draw the shoulders for
ward and cramp the chest; and it is as
hard for the lungs to do good work
when the chest is narrow and con-
stricted as it is for a closely bandaged
hand to set Il copy of clear, graceful
penmanship. Then there are lazy ways
of breathing, and one-sided ways of
breathing and the particularly bad
habit OF breathing through the mouth.
Now the nose was meant TO breathe
through, and it is marvelously aITang-
ed for filtering the impurities out of
the air, and for changing it to Il suitable
temperature for entering lungs. The
mouth has no such apparatus, and when
air is swallowed through the mouth in
stead of breathed through the nose, it
has an injurious effect upon the lungs.
A story is told of al Indian who had
personal encounter with a white man
much his superior in size and strength,
and who was asked afterward if he
was not afraid. Me never afraid of
man who keeps mouth OPEN" was the
immediate reply. Indeed. breathing
through the mouth gives foolish and
weak expression TO the face, as you
may see by watching any one asleep
with the mouth open.
II may be noted that an anHmic, or.
low, condition of the blood is seldom
found where there is IN established
habit of full deep breathing with the
mouth closed. - From about Breath
ing in st. Nicholas.

The ailments which afflict the kidneys and
bladder are so numerous, that merely to
name them would fill space far outrunning
the limits of this article. Suffice it to say,
that they are both obstinate and dangerous
To their prevention Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters is well adapted The stimulus which
it lends TO the action of the kidneys when
they are lethargic, serve to counterfeit a
a tendency in them to lapse, first, into a
state of pernicious inactivity, and after
wards into one of positive organic disease,
which soon destroys their delicate intsgu-
ments, poisons the blood and causes death
A double purpose is served by this depuT-
ment. II promotes activity of the kidneys,
and expels impurities from the blood which
have no natural channel of outlet, except
those organs. Constipation, biliousness,
fever and ague, rheumatism and dyspep-
STA, are also remedied by this medicine
of thorough action and wide scope.

The five regiments of Missouri militia
notified the Legislature of that State
some time ago that if they were expect
ed to keep themselves on Il war footing
at their own expense in future they
would disband. They asked for 500
900, which would have been but ten
dollars to each man, to help defray the
| expenses of uniforms, armories and
other necessary outlay. The Legisla-
ture refused TO furnish the money and
the live regiments have proved as good
as their word. They have disbanded,
and Missouri is to-day without Il single
company of organized infantry that
could be called into service in case of
need.
Certainly the Taxpayers of Missouri
could not complain of the action of the
regiments in question. They had no

| should have been no hesitation in max
ing the appropriation asked for. The
losses caused BY single riot might
easily reach hundred times that sum,
and as the laws of Missouri make cities
and counties liable for riot losses with

the worst kind of economy.

PAYERS were less to blame in the matter
than a lot of demagogic Legislators who
desired to conciliate few professional
labor agitatorS. If this is the true state
of the case Missouri should get rid Of
its demagogic Legislators at the earliest
opportunity aud elect some men who
will represent Missouri real interests.
A well-organizcd militia force is a
necessity in every State, and Missouri
will be lucky if it tides over the time
between this and the meeting of an
other Legislature without losing ten
times more BY riots and lawless mohs
than it would have cost to maintain its
